“My project involved moving a laundry from the basement to a small upstairs mud room. I went to the appliance store and measured the new dryer vent and then of course the only location possible for the dryer was going to hit a wall stud. It was about this time I stumbled on an ad for mag vent. After researching it I decided to give it a try. I offset the vent about an inch and waited for the dryer to be delivered. The installer of 22 years wondered what it was. After explaining to him to clamp the vent to the dryer and just slide it into place. I think every dryer should be equipped with a MagVent if for no other reason than it enables one to slide the dryer out for cleaning lint buildup and then slide back. Easy 10 min job.”

“The MagVent part was shipped promptly and delivered in great shape. I think the packaging was very well thought out. The installation was super easy and I can't imagine needing to replace it for the life of the house. It will make cleaning the vent so much easier now that I am not dealing with the clamps and the old semi rigid vents.”

There are many ways that improperly maintained dryer vents may have a negative effect on you and your family. A clogged or clamped off dryer vent hose is a perfect host to mold growth which can lead to an array of respiratory illnesses. Molds can cause a variety of symptoms, such as nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, eye irritation, wheezing and coughing, and possibly skin irritations as well. A properly maintenanced dryer vent can prevent mold growth in your laundry room. A MagVent product such as the MV-90, MV-180, or the MV-Flex, can reduce humidity levels by providing a proper ventilation system that is super easy to clean and maintain. The magnets allow a much easier cleaning process than your traditional dryer vent system. A MagVent product, a properly designed duct system, and routine cleaning are the solutions to boost dryer efficiency, decrease mold accumilation, and save energy and space!

“Before MagVent, it took forever to dry clothes, and the laundry room got extremely hot! The dryer finally dryer quit due to the thermal fuse blowing. I found the old vent hose kinked and broken! Attached are before and after photos of my MagVent Dryer Vent installation.” - Bob H.

"How the heck do I connect hot and cold water, black pipe/gas line, drain water, separate electrical for the washer and dryer, AND CONNECT THE DRYER VENT!? All while getting the stackable washer/dryer unit pushed into the corner away from the door on one side and the window on the other side? GAS, ELECTRIC, PLUMBING, and DRYER VENT. . .OH MY! I’ll let the pictures say the rest." -Sarah S.

"To make some improvements to our backyard so that our dryer didn't vent right onto the outdoor patio, we wanted to move our dryer vent discharge from the back of the house to the side of the house. The old route had an old inefficient outdoor dryer vent hood with non-functioning flapper on the back of the house, and due to the typical connection and access issues had to use the flimsy snaking foil duct to connect the dryer inside the house and push it back into place.

"My washer & dryer are in a closet in a half bath. It is a tight spot. A few weeks ago the washer stopped spinning and a new set was purchased. I asked the installers to please be sure the dryer vent was hooked up when they finished. They said it was, it was not. So for the next week I had steam & condensation running down the bathroom mirror anytime I dried a load of clothes.....UGH! They new dryer vent wasn't lined up right, so I went to the hardware store and bought new flex pipe, clamps and a 90 pipe. I pulled the new dryer out and assessed the situation. I sat there on the floor for awhile, upset at my predicament, and remembered seeing an ad on Facebook for Magvent.

"MagVent saved the day! After 3 weeks of running to the laundromat shuffling wet clothes around, I finally decided to give the Magvent MV-90 a try. I spent quite a few dollars prior, throughout the past few weeks, trying to fix the dryer vent. Now I am back in business!!" -Amanda

"Nothing annoyed me more than having to reconnect my dryer after cleaning the vent. Clamps on both the dryer connection and the wall were a huge hassle, taking multiple tries; one or both of them would always come loose no matter how tight I tried to screw them on. I saw MagVent online and looked at the video. I was skeptical but decided I had to try it. MagVent was well worth the small investment! It worked! I even have a slight offset to deal with. I also decided not to cut the vent pipe; instead I added a "collar" around the opening. Worked great and I was in such disbelief about how easy this worked that I kept reconnecting it just to be sure. Awesome product! Thank you!"-Edward S.

"I ordered MagVentMV-90 due to the very limited space behind my dryer. The space is so small, I have to pull the washing machine out in order to gain access to the back of the dryer. This is a true headache. I installed my new dryer a year ago, and it took hours to attach one simple bracket to the back of the dryer. I still had to worry about any movement of the dryer that could dislodge the vent from the back of the dryer. I happen to run across MagVent, and I knew installing the vent to the back of the dryer would be very simple. I would never have to worry about the vent dislodging again. You should clean your dryer vent regularly, especially myself since I have 3 teens and wash a lot of laundry. I found the installation to be simple. I look forward to just pulling the dryer out during servicing of the dryer vent without the worries."

"Thank you, MagVent for helping me install a washer and dryer into a closet! As you can see from the photos, installing with the standard venting would have been nearly impossible. Thank you for making installation a snap." -Kristi B.

"Excellent product! Very simple and effective design. I am 100% satisfied with it! This product lives up to the company's claims. I will recommend MagVent to anyone! Extremely simple installation. I don't see any way this product can be improved." -Mark B.
